The inspiration:
My take:
Vivienne Vivienne Tam cut and sew dress, Ross, $25
Christian Dior tie as belt, thrifted
Fossil key necklace, Nordstrom Rack, on clearance for $7
long necklace, Forever 21
Dansko "Sakura" sandals, Nordstrom Rack
This isn't quite the perfect everyday black dress I've been looking for, but it does come close. I'll wear this a few times before I decide whether to lop the long sleeves off because short sleeve works so much better for this climate. I do like the seaming detail - it adds a little interest and a lot of flare. Now I need to find a pair of bike shorts or something similar to layer underneath so I won't have to clutch at my skirt in a panic every time there's a breeze ...
